Here Comes the Sun

2010 has gotten off to a rough start for our family, but Sam continues to be our little ray of sunshine. He is 7 1/2 months old now, and full of joy. The sun decided to come back out in Jacksonville last weekend, and it was good for all of us to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. Sam LOVED the swings and the slide at Boone Park. He's even big enough to sit in a swing by himself!

PS -- check out the two bottom teeth in the picture above!

Sam is quite the little eater these days. He's a big fan of squash, sweet potatoes, and yogurt, but he's not too sure about broccoli. He's even trying finger foods -- though these are much more fun when they stick to his fingers than when they go in his mouth...and he loves to grab the spoon and feed himself!

And Sam wants to give a big shout out to his newest friend, Brady Hunting Ellis, born this morning at about 8:30. Brady and his mom, Ashley, are both doing well. Welcome to the world, Brady! We can't wait to meet you!
